O'Donnell was never a "longtime consultant in the state" she came to Delaware in 2003 to work for a think tank, got fired, sued them for sexual discrimination then decided to run for the Senate. She was not endorsed in 2006, was in 2008, then burned her bridges by refusing to pay the GOP staffers who worked on her campaign.

Never ever did she consult anyone or anything in the state, she's never even had the decency to endorse any other republican in the state running for any office. Ever.

And the Castle campaign didn't go negative until her "former" staffers (they were on her payroll a week ago" put out a video claiming Castle was gay. She's a pig. A disgusting pig.

Did the dog eat your ability to do research?

How about stopping Oval Office and democrat thug politics? Taking over industries and companies--banks, insurance, autos, brokerage and healthcare, while jettisoning shareholder and bondholder rights, via government fiat and thuggery is downright Banana Republic, Stalinist and Hitlerism. And forcing people to purchase and buy something (Obamacare) from big brother is out and out highway robbery.

Who are these people and who is that common street thug in the Oval Office?

@ What~ You make me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit. I love your personal attack, I mean summary of O'donnell. You didn't by chance happen to get your information from Wikipedia that you typed in yourself, did you? Or perhaps, even worse, from the liberal media?

Why don't you and your cronies leave this woman alone? Where is your integrity?Just because Christine isn't backed financially by the lefties/rhinos, and just because she didn't marry some rich guy to suck off of doesn't mean she isn't a good candidate.

We have a country to save here and Christine will stick to the United States Constitution, she will vote to repeal healthcare, and she is pro~life. So basically everything that Mike isn't, and deep down inside, I know that these facts make you VERY afraid.

She can't win, will give away a Red pickup. You play to lose the game in your neck of the woods? Stakes are huge, I'll take a RINO who will vote with my interests 60% of the time over a DEM who will vota against me, against the USA 90% of the time.
And she does sound like an idiot. Told the Weekly Standard reporter that she basically cheated on her taxes, no? reported 5k, but maybe more, just won't tell? That's pathetic, and it only works when Dems do it (Tax Cheat Tim et al.)
America is on the ropes, Castle and Brown are far better than the alternatives. Think.

We need principled conservatives like Christine O'Donnell in the Senate this fall. She needs our help to buy the ads to win the 9-14 primary. It's up to the people.

the professional politicians are scared of christine o'donnell because she represents the people and not special interests. the establishment tried these same tactics and failed in republican primaries with rand paul, sharron angle, mike lee, ken buck, marco rubio, etc. and will also fail here.

o'donnell is clearly the best candidate in the race!!

I was just notified by folks in my *local* tea party of this situation (for those who can't translate *local* that means GBeck and SPalin can go screw themselves). While I am not tossing cash in the ring right away, I will monitor this situation closely, sort the wheat from the chaff, and if it looks good she's gettin' $100 from me.

My personal take on this situation is that its my responsibility to do what I can to support real candidates in the country. I clearly cant trust the GOP to do such things on the behalf of conservatives.

Below a link was posted to and appears to be "Paid for by Friends of Christine O’Donnell", so think carefully about who is who before spending your fiat.

Texas Vet not only describes me but mirrors my thoughts on this matter. Party organizations should remain neutral in primaries. They should act only as referees and provide as many impartial meet-the-candidate events as possible. Anything else is a throwback to smoke filled room politics.

Party organizations can be involved, but should reflect the thinking of the majority of party members. Long-time Republicans want the party to get back to true conservative principles, and hence we don't want the GOP, the NRSC, and others like them to back RINO's simply because the RINO is the incumbent. To the contrary, we want our party organizations to root out those people so we can replace them with true conservatives and take back both the party and the country.
Our party's jelly-spined approach to opposition politics has put us at a disadvantage too many times in the past when we had opportunities to seize the moment (for example, the Clinton impeachment) and steer the government and country back where it belongs.
Now we're truly at a pivotal moment in our history, when Obama and his apparatchiks have shown the voters first-hand what socialist policies do to a country. They've done us a huge favor, albeit an expensive one, and we conservatives MUST take advantage of this opportunity to elect conservatives and demonstrate decisively the differences between socialism and capitalism.
The NRSC's charter is to help re-elect incumbents. That being so, John Cornyn needs to know where the NRSC should be passive so the GOP put forth as many conservative Republican candidates as possible. Delaware is a prime example. The mindset that we need to run a RINO because Delaware is left-leaning is fallacious. A conservative that communicates well has every chance of winning against a liberal.

The only thing that matters to me is that a true conservative that votes as a conservative wins the in the primary. What good does it do to if you elect a Republican that votes with along with the Democrat socialist AGENDA of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid which Mike Castle is clearly on record of doing already? Castle is a R.I.N.O. (Republican In Name Only) which is proven by his voting record which shows he has voted 60% to 70% of the time WITH the Democrats on Big spending and taxing programs. He is for the phoney job killing Cap and Tax bill where energy costs will skyrocket he is also on board with the 3,000 Page Obama Healthcare mess that was rammed down our throats and will bankrupt the country. Castle should run on the Democratic ticket next election after Christine O'Donnell defeats him this year because he votes with the Dems anyway. Christine O'Donnell is a solid conservative Republican that will vote to Defund Obamacare until we can vote Obama out of office in 2012 then she will vote to Repeal Obamacarewhen we take back the Presidency in 2012. Vote OUT all the RINO Liberal Republicans and Democrats and VOTE IN CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN Christine O'Donnell to take back our Country.

A very important thing to remember in this Primary is that the winner if elected to the Senate would be Seated immediately Into the Senate and be there during the up comming LAME DUCK cession. They would be seated right away is because they are filling the vacated Senate seat of Joe Biden. What this means is that the Democrats would lose their 60 vote filibuster proof majority because now we would have 41 Senate seats and could stop passage of Cap and Tax, or giving blanket Amnesty to Illegal Aliens and any other garbage Laws the Dems want to ram through before they leave office and will have lost their Majority after the election. If Castle gets in there he would or might vote right along with the Democrats allowing them to pass all the bogus programs. That one reason is enough to vote for Christine O'Donnel who is a RELIABLE Conservative Republican vote and will vote correctly when the chips are down and it is going to make a huge difference in this up comming Lame Duck cession we must have a Reliable Republican vote in the Senate seat to stop the Democrat agenda.

I am furious with my Senator, John Cornyn, for attacking a Tea Party Conservative, just as he did in Alaska. I am similarly furious with Senator Hutchison for standing by and doing nothing. The Republican Party needs strong, conservative leaders, not "go along and get along" RINOs.

Senator Cornyn and the Republican Senatorial Committee should stay out of primary races and then get behind the primary winners. They should not be picking winners and trashing conservative candidates.

My goodness but you people that are living off politics forget very quickly. Mike Castle could not even
speak up at the Town Meetings last summer. If you remember he made a real fool of himself.

Mike Castle has lived off the public as a senator for a good long while. It is time for him to resign
just like any of us in the private sector. Have to say that we are getting might tired of all you
wealthy people taking those political jobs where you never spend a read day working. A really
decent guy would step aside if he was not winning - he wuld not go to higher up pols to make
sure he got what he wanted.

As for Ms. O'Donnell - wise up it is rather difficult for young people getting out of college these
days. OBAMA ;has made it a lot more difficult than when you were attending. (Reminds me that
I wanted to see if Mike Castle had rich parents that put him through. I know from my grandfather
that college was only about $500 to $1,000 per semester back in Castle's time.. You keep harping
on items like a tax season getting missed or a college payment - IN THESE DAYS IT WILL COME
BACK TO HAUNT YOU. WISE UP!

I am sick of the ridiculous "Tea Partiers" who are simply doing all they can to ensure that the Democrats remain in control of Congress. When you have a highly electable candidate like Mike Castle, who may not be a litmus-test conservative but is still way more conservative than the Democrat, and you want to throw him aside to nominate some nobody right winger who is more "pure" conservativeoly, then you need your priorities straightened out because all you are doing is handing the seat to a Democrat who will vote the Obama agenda 100% of the time.
